After one of the biggest manhunts in the Northwest, three members of the Priesthood were arrested in October and charged in a string of bombings and robberies that occurred last year: on April 1 masked men robbed the Spokesman-Review, a Spokane, Washington, daily, and minutes later robbed and bombed a nearby bank; on July 12 a local Planned Parenthood clinic was bombed and the same bank robbed again.

The Royal National Theatre has just revived Richard Eyre's landmark 1982 production of Guys and Dolls, whose success inspired a string of British revivals of classic American musicals.
